Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

The classic text covering many of the popular operas of the time in summary and brief analysis. Very useful in those days of listening to opera in another language on the wireless.

I have the 1906 version and I always go back to it. It's great to read from front to back too, as I have done. It's just great!
